Measure To Fine Landlords For Renting To Illegal Immigrants

An article about a Ballot Measure in the City of San Bernardino was on page A-3 of the NCTimes, but I cannot find a link to it. NC Times quote: "Turner said the initiative specifically aimed to circumvent a Supreme Court ruling prohibiting public schools from asking student for proof of legal residency. 'If an undocumented family can't live in the city, they can't send their children to public schools,' he said."

A more complete article is on the San Bernardino Sun's website:

The measure would:
Ban the use of tax dollars to set up day-labor centers for illegal immigrants.
Impose fines of at least $1,000 against anyone operating a day-labor center without the right permit.
Impose $1,000 fines on landlords who rent to illegal immigrants.
Require city business to be conducted in English, except when federal, state or county law mandates otherwise.
Allow police to seize the vehicles of people who use them to hire day laborers.We know that employer sanctions do not work.
